“Analysis: Bush’s personality shapes his legacy”
“WASHINGTON (AP) — President George W. Bush will be judged on what he did. He will also be remembered for what he’s like: a fast-moving, phrase-mangling Texan who stays upbeat even though his country is not.”

“For eight years, the nation has been led by a guy who relaxes by clearing brush in scorching heat and taking breakneck bike rides through the woods. He dishes out nicknames to world leaders, and even gave the German chancellor an impromptu, perhaps unwelcome, neck rub. He’s annoyed when kept waiting and sticks relentlessly to routine. He stays optimistic in even the most dire circumstances, but readily tears up in public. He has little use for looking within himself, and only lately has done much looking back.”

“Bush’s style and temperament are as much his legacy as his decisions. Policy shapes lives, but personality creates indelible memories — positive and negative.”

Ben Feller. (2009, January 3). Analysis: Bush’s personality shapes his legacy. http://www.google.com/. Retrieved January 3, 2009, from http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jgsqOTaE1yThAATF7Cmli9rrBjkwD95FS6LO0

Hopefully, the most lasting and memorable thing about Bush’s legacy will be his imprisonment or execution for murdering more than 4,000 U.S. service members (renowned former prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi wrote a book about this).

3. Bush is an example of POOR VOTING......= poor leader = poor decisions = poor results =
misery/poverty/recession = ANGER/RESENTMENT = Solutions = Better Gov't

Bush has led us to Solutions...he has strangled the GOP...exposed their Shortcomings and Flaws....Gave us lessons on how to avoid sim probs....never vote for the GOP....esp when they LIE CHEAT STEAL....
